Pray the rosary!

It is so amazing that even though the Catholic Church is a total FAIL, that people still are stupid enough to believe that Mary has special powers. There is NOTHING in the Bible to support prayer to her. The Catholic religion is full of pagan idol worship!

Actually no, I do not. You said it yourself...GOING THROUGH HIS MOTHER. Why would a prayer going through a human in heaven be any more effective than say a prayer going through the holy spirit that lives inside of you?

so you have never had anyone pray for you?????

That is not what the Rosary, at it's core, is though. Look at it like this. While I am praying i never stop and say Dear holy friend who lives down the street please talk to GOD for me and let him know I need his help. Get it now?

In my opinion it is all about how you view the Rosary, Mary, and prayer. All I am saying is that prayer is more than just "let me recite some words and it will magically change my life." It is not about words. These things are human constructs that our minds have developed. The act of prayer is you Joining in the struggle or burden or joy of the person you are praying for and or with.

My comfort is in the fact that knowing I share in the same spirit as mary, and paul, and peter, not in the fact that through these people I have another person to pray to, Does that make sense?

I am not condemning people that pray the Rosary. I just feel that the people that believe in a human being and considering her the HOLY MOTHER OF GOD is a bit much.

Just for some clarification, When you (not necessarily directed at the person I quoted but anyone who prays the Rosary) pray the rosary do you always end with this prayer?

"HAIL, HOLY QUEEN, Mother of Mercy, our life, our sweetness and our hope! To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve; to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this vale of tears. Turn then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary!"

Because this is a prayer TO mary not WITH mary. you are not joining in prayer with her you are placing her between you and Jesus. Just read the words.

Just check your own spirit and make sure that when and if you pray the rosary you are not praying to mary but you are praying to Jesus. That's all. I will never pray it though, no need.

How can you talk so much about it without ever having done it? Trust me, there is nothing to be afraid of, our mother loves us!

Because, my friend, I have spent close to 7 years constantly praying, fighting (winning and losing), meditating, and reading about things like this. It is not as if I am oblivious to the doings of the Catholic church. When you view the rosary you see a sacred and holy prayer that allows you to communicate with mary that then takes your prayers to Jesus.

I see an Idle that makes light of what Christ has done for me. Now I am not saying that everyone that prays the rosary is worshiping an idol and going to hell. It is just that I know this world is screwed up and the closer I am to God the better. Therefore placing a human in-between me and Jesus adds an unnecessary complication, and these complications only give satan a foothold to lead us astray. Be careful who your spirit prays TO is all I am saying.

By the way Mary is not my mother. The spirit of Jesus that lives inside of me is entirely from God. My mother is the person that bore my flesh.

Hail Mary's is just another confusion by a confused devil religion like catholicism. The bible honors mary but in no way says we are to pray to her.

Also....Jesus had brothers after the flesh and sisters. Mary had 8 children with her husband Joseph. This perpetual viginity of mary doctrine is Non-sense. Mary was just another human like you or me.....she was just a chosen vessel to carry the flesh of Jesus to term and raise him until he was "about His Father's work".

Praying to Mary is just foolish. No where in the bible does it say to do that. That practice of praying to "the queen of heaven" is Babylonian paganism, stemming from Nimrod and Semiramis worship.

I agree OP.What Adam and Eve lost, Jesus and Mary regain. All is restored. Why do some so called Christians throw Mary under the bus when she has an obvious critical role in salvation history.

From the fall of Adam and Eve to the flood was probably around 2000 years. From the conquest of Christ and Mary to the dawn of the new Kingdom will also be around 2000 years. If we're not in the last decade of the world as we know it, surely the last century. Get ready and surprised you haters of the new Eve.

Rut row - Wildhoney is going to get mad at me. A woman should know her place. We live in an era that has rejected male authority of the family. This gurly man religion is NOT CATHOLIC, no matter what this pedophile protecting pope tells you. After they invented the rosary back around 1200AD, Roman Catholics got involved in the sack of Constantinople, the Crusades and became so corrupt that Martin Luther came along. I want the TRUE CATHOLIC FAITH back with a Christian Pope.

If I had my way all the rosarytards would be spanked, especially the real cute ones like Wildhoney.

Quote - "You don't have to be a Roman Catholic? " I would say yes, EVERYONE does need to support the one True Faith, but the rosary, forced Clerical celibacy, theories of the infallible man were not taught by Catholics over 1000 years ago. The Catholic Church is supposed to teach the Gospel, not run after every apparition that comes down the pike. Work with the approved building materials (Christ the Rock), not shifting sands of faith de jour.

i think you all are forgetting what the rosary really is it's a chain prayer to Our Lady who is,was and always be God she's in the Catholic Trinity the Catholic church has been taken over and run by jewish freemasons when they took away the mass in 1962 the original rosary from the mouth of Our Lady to St Dominic is the only way to remember Christ was,is and will always be God

It makes sense to me. Roman Catholics should be praying for a Christian pope. A prayer should be asking God to help with your needs, not a pre programmed , don't think for yourself script created by somebody in 1200 AD. It doesn't make sense on a scriptural level, it went against tradition and it lacks logical sense. It mocks Jesus by praying in a repetitive zombie like fashion with pre-programmed meditation themes. Of course the loving trad tards think I am a nasty heretic for preferring early Catholicism of over 1000 years ago. I should walk over to the Orthodox camp but I was taught that was wrong. Am I the only Roman Catholic in the world who feels and believes this way?

Jesus gave humanity His mother from the Cross. He wants you to have a love for His mother, speak to her in prayer, she has been given all graces to dispense, the Trinity'splan. Anti-Marian Christians (imagine!) will understand at the "awakening" when God shows them personally.

"Dear children, once again I urge you to remain in My Heart. When you become engrossed in the evil that is taking place around you, you begin to step out of the Light of Truth and hopelessness takes charge of your heart. Dear children, I have called you aside from all of this so that you will have hope and not give in to the darkness of the day."

"We must share hope in each other. This is the only way you can be My effective instruments in a world of moral degeneration. Your rosaries are more important to Me than any weapon mankind can develop against real or supposed enemies."

"I am present to you when you pray the rosary no matter your religious affiliation, for the rosary is a universal prayer. My grace knows no boundaries or prejudices. I desire your unity in the grace of My Heart."

I was a convert to Catholicism from Protestantism in middle life. I have a special love for the Blessed Virgin because she is the one who led me to the Church. I pray the Fatima Rosary because that is the one my mother in law taught me. I don't get angry at the horrible things said about the Church because I know the peace the Catholic church has brought me. If others disagree, that's their right..it's a road we all must choose for ourselves and seek peace wherever we can. This is just the answer in my life and the only think I can't abide is those who try to change my faith. My faith is mine and yours is yours and we should honor each others beliefs.

Mat 6:6 “But you, when you pray, go into your room, and having shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place. And your Father who sees in secret shall reward you openly. Mat 6:7 “And when praying, do not keep on babbling like the gentiles. For they think that they shall be heard for their many words.

Mary (btw her real name was Myriam) was a Jewish woman, she was not catholic! So how come she never appears to the people she and Jesus originated from: the Jews? How come she never appears in Israel (the place where she was born and passed away)? Why is it that she never addresses God, but rather talks about herself ("Your rosaries are more important to Me than...")What worries me even more is this: "I am present to you when you pray the rosary no matter your religious affiliation, for the rosary is a universal prayer. My grace knows no boundaries or prejudices." Religious affiliation does matter because Jesus is the only way to God! Grace is not given by Mary but comes from God! It seems to me that they will use Mary apparitions to construct a world religion.
